So has anyone on this forum fished it? What was your experience with it? Would you recommend it?

I'm not sure how many guys here from the forum fished it last year. I can put you in touch with some guys who fished it last year if you would like. Let me know!

I fished it last year and had a blast. It is a nice atmosphere with a lot of great guys. I almost had as much fun talking with guys at the access after the fishing as I did fishing. I would recommend it to anyone. It is great for fishing new waters and it flexible. Last season I fished a Tuesday afternoon, Friday afternoon, and a couple Saturday mornings. You just need to coordinate with the guy you are fishing with. I fish in a couple tourament series that are only on weekends so it is nice to be able to fish during the week so not every single Saturday and Sunday are booked. It is also great for anyone from guys that have been fishing tournaments to guys that are new to competitive fishing. I ended up winning the tournament last year and it was my first year fishing in bass only tournaments. It is a fun time.

Thanks for the post. We have changed the format from last year from a bracket type format to a point system, and you don't have a deadline for the matches this year either, except you have to fish them before the divisional tournament. Marty was the man last year!

I squeeked by Dan for AOY which was based on points last year, which will be how we do it this year for the folks who qualify for the state tournament.

I still need to update the site to reflect last years results for Marty, and not just me on top for the points!

We would love to have many more folks sign up. I had a great time too last year!
